I've been a fan of No7 for many years. Their philosophy that beauty is not just about looking good, but about feeling ready to take on the world, is one that I can wholeheartedly get behind, and in fact, their Protect and Perfect line was my first ever introduction to anti-ageing skincare. To this day, it's still my go-to if I'm ever stuck for what to buy. I've never tried Lift & Luminate before, but having read the press release about the recent improvements to this range, I can't wait to give it a go.
No7 have recently revolutionised the entire Lift & Luminate line, so there's no better time to test it out. Taking the powerful technology from their TRIPLE ACTION serum - the UK's number one serum brand - they've added it to their entire skincare range of day cream, night cream and eye cream. No7 believes that skincare works #BetterTogether, and the new and improved Lift & Luminate range is now the hardest working in their entire arsenal, proven to deliver results against the three most common signs of ageing by visibly reducing wrinkles, firming skin and producing a more even skin tone.
The technology in question comprises the following key ingredients:
Matrixyl 3000 PLUS - A powerful peptide blend which smoothes wrinkles to restore more youthful looking skin
Hyaluronic Acid - Provides skin firming benefits through its water retaining abilities
Hibiscus Extract - Rich in peptides and amino acids, helps support collagen production for smoother, firmer skin
Lightening Complex - Contains Emblica (Indian gooseberry) and Vitamin C, to even skin tone and fade pigmentation
In addition to this potent blend, the day cream contains SPF 15 and 5* UVA, offering No7's most advanced protection against damaging - and ageing - UV rays. No7 claims that use of the day cream will reveal younger looking skin in just two weeks, and will protect your skin for the future with regular use.
The night cream, which works in harmony with skin's night time renewal process to nourish and restore moisture, is supposed to offer immediately visible effects from the morning after the first use, reduced wrinkles and firmer skin after two weeks, and a more rested and radiant looking complexion after four weeks.
The eye cream is especially formulated for the delicate skin in this area, and, it's claimed, will reveal brighter looking eyes in just two weeks. With continued use, you should see crow's feet softened and dark circles and puffiness reduced.
In trials, 88% of women saw even better results from using the new day cream together with the serum, which would seem to suggest that No7 are onto something with their #BetterTogether theory. And now that the new range is available to buy in stores, they've decided to offer a group of Thirty Plus bloggers - and some of our readers - the opportunity to see for themselves. I only received the range a couple of days ago, so I'm going to give you my first impressions now. If you want to know how it works on my skin over the next few weeks, make sure you pop back at the beginning of February to find out, as I'll be posting all about it then.
I usually love the packaging of No7 skincare and this range is definitely no exception. It's neat, elegant and very easy to see which product is which thanks to the simple colour coding. The eye cream and serum have fine nozzles, making it a cinch to dispense the small amount of product you need without any waste. The day and night cream are housed in clear plastic jars. I know a lot of people worry about hygiene when you're constantly dipping your fingers into the product, but so long as your hands are clean there shouldn't really be a problem, and it certainly makes for ease of use.
My immediate impressions of these products are that they are all light to apply and quick to absorb. Fragrance is minimal, but what little is there is fresh and clean. If anything, the day cream feels slightly thicker than the night cream, but neither of them are at all heavy on the skin. I think I'm really going to enjoy using these products, and I can't wait to let you all know the results in a few weeks' time!

This post was sponsored by No7. All opinions, as always, are my own.
The subtle 'fresh and clean' fragrance sounds so appealing! A couple of my relatives swear by No7 skincare products for when it comes to anti-ageing and/or rejuvenating qualities, and so I can imagine the winner of this giveaway will be super pleased! Hope you're having a lovely week, Kate :)

Yes, the eye cream seems really good so far! x
DeleteI usually mix and match my skincare, but every mow and again I like to try everything from one brand, at least for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
I used to always use the same brand, but since starting my blog I've mixed and matched a little bit more. It's interesting to see what different people do. x
DeleteI haven't tried anything from No.7 before, this is such a great giveaway :D! I love the sound of the eye cream, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSerene | I Am Serene L
It is really nice - the Protect and Perfect one is great as well. x
DeleteI love Boots No.7 skincare and have been using their Early Defence range for about a year now. I am heading towards 28 in a couple of weeks so maybe it's about time to try out this new range next as it sounds amazing! :) x
ReplyDeleteI think it's nice when you already know and trust a brand - I'm always more confident trying different ranges when that's the case. x
DeleteHow lovely!! Would absolutely love to try these products. As I'm now 40, I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, and best of luck! x
Deletei have tried the skincare but love no7 makeup.I always use the foundation x
ReplyDeleteI've actually tried very little No7 makeup. I should explore it more really as their skincare is so impressive. x
DeleteI haven't used no7 products in ages and these sound really nice. At 36 I am always worried about new lines and wrinkles and try to prevent them as much as I can! x

I really do think good skincare works wonders. While it might not magically erase every line from your face, I'm sure it helps a lot to minimise their appearance. x
DeleteOh no! If I was coming back to the UK earlier, I would have entered, but I miss this giveaway by two weeks! :( Shame.
ReplyDeleteBut I am definitely going to try this range when I get back. My wrinkles are becoming more noticeable than ever :(
